"Ignisweekeno, also known as the fire bear or bear of light, can be spotted throughout the Pacific Northwest coastal shores. Known to have poor eyesight, the fire bear enable their internal light to catch fish at night. In addition to their unique hunting abilities, they can also be spotted guiding diurnal creatures in need of a destination throughout the night.
In the animistic worldview of hunter-gatherers – in which all living things are imbued with spirit – these bears are respected as powerful, intelligent, curious creatures with almost human qualities."
